TREM DEVOTIONAL FOR 28TH JULY 2024
In Genesis 26, the Bible states that there was a famine in the land where Isaac was. And as any normal person would, he wanted to leave the land of famine and seek greener pastures elsewhere. However, God told him to stay put and made him a promise to be with him and to bless him. Now, Isaac could have discounted the voice because he still had the realities of famine to contend with regardless of what he heard. So why would God tell him to stay there?
Beloved, maybe you find yourself in a similar situation to Isaac, and you are asking, “Why would God put me in such a difficult situation? After all, the Bible says in 3 John 2, ‘I wish above all things that you prosper and be in health even as our soul prospers’. Does experiencing a famine look like prosperity?” With such thinking, don’t be surprised to find yourself immediately discounting the voice as not being from God.
Isaac obeyed the voice of God! He dwelt in that land and sowed in the same land. You see, the quicker we understand that God’s ways are not our ways, neither are His thoughts our thoughts, the better for us. We might not fully understand what He is saying and all that He is doing, but if we obey and trust Him, we will enjoy exceeding abundantly.
Beloved, exceeding abundantly is for those who have decided to say yes to God. It is for those who have decided that whether they understand the instruction or not, they will obey God. I encourage you to make up your mind to obey God and obey quickly. Take a quality decision that every promise of God must be a reality in your life. What this means is that whatever He tells you to do, you will do it, whether you fully understand it or not.
